Mounted search and rescue

["philip easley" <easleyranch@foothill.net>]

I am glad for you and your team that you were able to be a part of a high
profile successful search.  I am also sympathetic as well.  I had been a
part of many successful searches and the ones that wound up as a body
recovery were always sad.  Even with the closure.  I understand and have
felt your feelings.  And yes it is hard to describe.  Dwell on the good
points and make sure you have friends or a counselor to talk about the
other.  "Namo Sat Nam" and keep up the good work.
